With all the terrible weather across the nation, it's a smart move to be concerned about something like this. While you can't control the frigid temps, you can take a few steps to make sure your plumbing stays in tip-top shape while you're enjoying the holidays.

If you're only going away overnight, or are lucky enough to live in warmer climes then you don't have to worry about securing your pipes. If, though, you live in a section the country that's in the deep-freeze, taking a few minutes to prep your home before you leave home can save you a huge headache when you get back.
